Hot Dish ~ Spicy Cowgirl Chicken

I don't normally work on Fridays but since I took Monday off I'm going in to make up the hours. After work we'll probably be headed to a friend's house for happy hour and I know that I'm not going to want to cook afterward so I'm throwing this dish into the crockpot right now in preparation for tonight. I surely don't want to end up starving and grabbing just anything, especially after a couple of cocktails when my inhibitions are lowered, shall we say. *wink*

I've been making this recipe with great results but noww that I'm back on WW I have tweaked it slightly and made it my own. Since I am using a sweet & spicy barbecue sauce there's no need for the additional sugar in my opinion and adding a bit of onion spices it up a bit. And, yes, I know that it's not recommended to cook frozen chicken in the slow cooker but honestly I've never had a problem with it. If you do, feel free to use fresh and just shorten the cooking time.

With my tweaking, this turns out to be 4 POINTS per serving. I plan to serve it on light hamburger buns or Sandwich Thins for an additional POINT but it's also great over baked potatoes!

I accidentally stubled across your blog because I was looking for a old cowgirl Christmas photo to put on my Facebook for the holidays. I LOVE your blog. I think we are twin sisters who got separated at birth! Really your polka dots, cherries on the sidebar, your writing style, your comments and pic of photos etc. are ALL things I adore. I've never blogged or followed one in my life but my kids (I have 5) all say I should so I signed up for one. Not sure what the heck to do with it BUT I love what you've done. Sistas!!!! Keep it up.

Food for Thought

"Surely the day will come when color means nothing more than the skin tone, when religion is seen uniquely as a way to speak one's soul, when birth places have the weight of a throw of the dice and all men are born free, when understanding breeds love and brotherhood."

"Beautiful? It's all a question of luck. I was born with good legs. As for the rest... beautiful, no. Amusing, yes."
